Anyone remeber that they said Oliver Kahn set fire to his gloves after letting in five against England..??
Maybe Darwin should set fire to his boots... Not while wearing them though

Or maybe set fire to the goalposts. Could reduce the thickness, thus have more goals going in off them than not.
Its the same with the pen and not pen....
I was thinking about the penalties not given to Chelsea and a few reasons come to mind:
1) Are they the authorities going to ensure that Liverpool are given every advantage to win the title along with Arsenal over City ? - it would kind of make sense if the FA are going to strip City of their titles due to the 115 reasons dating back to 200X. In which case it makes it easier for them if City don't win a title this season.
2) Poch - gives special instructions to players when getting penalties, I still remember that Eric Lamina penalty against Spurs that VVD conceded at home all those years ago. Essentailly the tactic is to be in the way of the defender before he sees you so that they take a hit as he tries to clear the ball. In other words in the first penalty appeal - did that guy just run into VVD's path ?, for the 2nd again - was it the same shit ?

"Coulda woulda shoulda ..." (Modo)
"but we should have had a penalty awarded against us, so I'm going to worry about that" (Modo)
That was Nunez first ever miss. Robbie had a few.
@Frogfish - have to say Mac10 had an epic game and almost legendary in the archives, in the game he had to contend with two opposing players that know him so well in Caicedo, and Enzo, and he came on top against them both which was amazing to watch. That was Greek mythology stuff or Indian Hindu Mahabarrat stuff - it's a fantastic story in itself.
Hey, don't use my logic against me
Mac was unreal out there, Bournemouth and last night is what you expect more of from a world cup winning midfielder.......not like the shite the guy opposite him with the bleached blonde hair produces.
If it wasn't for Bradley having a coming of age performance.. every single one of us would be waxing lyrical over that was Mac Allisters best game for us.
Amazing performances by the pair of them.
I'd throw Nunez into that too. Despite the misses and woodwork.. that was 11 shots. He was a handful for them.

A huge amount of that performance from nunez is down to Bradley for me. Just the tactic of having a right back attack the right flank opens up so much space. The inversion of Trent works wonders at times, but the pitch was so open last night due to Trent not playing
Plus Macallister is playing some great through balls from central positions so we’re completely toothless without Trent in that sense either
Macca is one of our most important players atm, especially now that Endo is away
Fucking oath man!
Nunez puts in those performances with Trent as well. Taking nothing away from the fantastic game that Bradley played. But we've seen this from Darwin on several occasions.
We look a bit more fluid with the right back play Bradley offers though, as Trent will 9/10 times move inside.
It would be great if Trent stayed wide more often. We look better when that happens and we mix it up a bit more.
Chelsea fan reactions just aren't as fun as the Scum ones 😕
I was hoping for a much bigger and better fix of schadenfreude...

I guess that's the problem you have with a plastic fanbase....when we beat a Utd or say an Everton and beat them bad......the reaction is from the heart.
Lol. I'm not even angry with Nunez hitting the woodwork a record 4 times.
And you're angry about us switching off ?
You alright mate ?
I'd normally be angry reg Nunez but I'm in the acceptance phase right now.
I actually LOL-ed when he missed the penalty.
As long as we're winning, he's allowed to be the clown who gives everyone a laugh or two.

I laughed because he hit the post.
I love him, but there's a clock on him as well. Let's say I buy the idea that he's just fundamentally unlucky, that somehow his hitting the frame constantly is evidence that of course he will start banging them in for fun, as opposed to instead just missing them higher and wider (which is just as logical). Being desperately unlucky is a horrible characteristic for a footballer if persistent.
So yeah, he's a desperately unlucky striker, fine. The thing is, I like lucky strikers more. If he just finishes a little more, then everyone is fine with him. It isn't happening though.

Yep, 12 out 12 scored. He needs to piss on the Anfield goal posts.
Don't be silly. Mac isn't a #6 !
